The power of daily micro-relaxation

We live in a time where it's normal to always be "on." Emails, phone calls, deadlines, and a constant stream of stimuli leave our bodies in a kind of permanent stress mode. It's no wonder so many people feel tired, tense, or overstimulated. Yet, relaxation doesn't have to be grand or time-consuming. Short breaks—micro-relaxations—can make a huge difference to your well-being and performance.

Why Short Breaks Are So Powerful

Our brains can only concentrate intensely for so long. Research shows that after 60–90 minutes of focus, productivity decreases and stress hormones rise. By letting go for a moment, your nervous system gets a chance to recover: your heart rate slows, your muscles relax, and your brain processes stimuli more effectively. The result? Greater clarity, less stress, and a fresh dose of energy.

Examples of micro-relaxation

1. 1 minute of breathing space
   Place your hand on your stomach, inhale deeply, and exhale slowly. Repeat this five times. You'll immediately notice a decrease in tension.

2. The 5-step stretch
   Stand up, raise your arms, roll your shoulders, bend forward, and finish with a gentle neck mobilization. It takes two minutes and feels like a reset.

3. Microbreak with massage
   A short massage of your neck, shoulders, or back instantly relaxes tense muscles. Compact massagers or even a few minutes in a massage chair can make all the difference.

4. Focus through silence
   Close your eyes for a moment, without your phone or any other stimuli. Even 30 seconds of silence gives your brain a rest.

5. Braintronics® power break
   Braintronics® technology combines massage with neuroacoustic sound waves. Within 10 minutes, you'll bring your body and mind to a deeper state of relaxation.
